INDIANAPOLIS – Senior men's tennis player Juan Ramirez has been named to the All-Crossroads League team, announced by the league office Monday. This is the second consecutive year Ramirez has been selected for All-Conference honors.
Competing at the top of the lineup in both singles and doubles play, Ramirez helped lead the Trojans to a 5-3 record in the Crossroads League and a No. 4 seed in the league tournament. Taylor defeated Grace College in the Crossroads League Tournament Quarterfinals and finished with an overall record of 6-7.
